Islamic Corporation for the Development of the Private Sector Awards

The Most Impactful Islamic Finance Institution or Project of the Year

This award honors one ICD client for its significant and meaningful Islamic finance contributions to society and the industry for the year 2023/2024.

Methodology

ICD clients — those who have received a financing line from the ICD — are invited to participate in the nomination process which will be reviewed by an independent external judging panel made up of impartial industry experts, both from within the IsDB Group and the industry.

Winners will be selected based on their collective industry experience and initiatives over the last year as well as the information provided in individual submissions. Consideration is given to visibility, range of activity and complexity of work undertaken; nonetheless, equal consideration is given to all achievements based on a relative scale and no entity is at a disadvantage due to size or location.

A shortlist will first be drawn up by the Awards Advisory Board. Any queries by the Awards Advisory Board regarding any of the nominations will be reviewed and fact-checked by an independent judging panel employing multiple methods including direct communication (where possible) with the participants/issuers in the stated lead transactions of each nomination. The reviewed shortlist will then be further deliberated by the board to determine the final winner.
